I succumbed to an impulse yesterday and bought one pot of African Iris (Dietes iridioides).
I had thought to plant them in a sheltered, fairly sunny but very moist spot by a small container water garden.
Then I did some more reading and it's constantly described as drought tolerant...which sounds like it might not like soggy spots.
Also, zone 8 is apparently the top end of its range.
So, my question is: Would you think it would do well in a place where it's feet are shaded and it's a bit moist? Or should it be in a much drier, equally sunny spot, but not sheltered? If you have some, and they do well, then tell me what sort of conditions you have yours in.
Thanks!
Deb
